The Web of Science Group, a Clarivate Analytics company, has released the 2025 update to its annual Journal Citation Reports in June 18th, 2025. (JCR 2024 Edition)

This release of JCR provides 2024 data (2024 Journal Impact Factor and other indicators) and the 2025 data will be available in the 2026 release.
